How is this compared to Golite SL5? I know the golite isn't stove compatible(Mod time?), but it is quite a bit lighter.

Bear in mind that 1kg of the weight is the inner which you can leave behind. There's not much in it, but yes the FL is marginally lighter.

Yeah I did think that about the rain but over night when the stove cools down, if the rain was quite heavy I think it would come in quite a bit.
It would be easy enough to fit a coolie-hat type cap around the flue pipe just above the heat shield.

Enlighten me Ian what is a coolie hat type thing?

A shallow cone with a hole in the middle. Similar to what you have right at the top of the flue but bigger to cover the top f the shield and slightly above it to prevent it overheating.
Summat like this...

Nicely done Dave, that looks sound mate

I had worries with my Bergans but the heatshield on the Helsport works fine too. It still got hot to touch but nothing to worry about, you look like you've got more of a gap around your shield though so it'll be fine.

I see the attachments for your top hat are different to mine, yours looks like it clips on whereas the Bergans has guy lines. It's a bit of a pain having to peg more guy lines out but I reckon you should tie a couple of yours, just the end ones so you can wrap it around the heatshield a bit more.

I'm delighted with this thread! I've been humming and hawing about a large shelter with room for a stove for winter camping. Coupled with a SeekOutside Titanium Stove (c. 1.3kgs) it would even be packable!
